Tips and Advice
When searching for your photographer, ask the photographer for a link to view an entire wedding from beginning to end.  Do not settle for just seeing a small portfolio or album of his/her best work.  

Make sure you like your photographer's style.  Each photographer is an artist with an existing style, if you do not like their work, keep looking.
